Chapter 7. The User Interface

ŠTo reset all the hotkeys to their default values, click Reset; to cancel setting a hotkey value, click Cancel; to clear an action’s Hotkeys field, click Clear.

ŠYou can use the same function keys for more than one action, as long as the first key is not the same. For example, you can use F1 F2 F3 for one action; F2 F1 F3 for another; F3 F2 F1 for a third, etc.

Note: You must press and release the keys one key at a time.

An explanation of the Hotkey actions is given in the table below:

Action

Explanation

 

 

 

 

Exit remote location

Breaks the connection to the KH1508i / KH1516i and

 

returns you to local operation.

 

Adjust Video

Brings up the video adjustment utility.

Toggle OSD

Toggles the Control Panel Off and On.

Toggle mouse display

If you find the display of the two mouse pointers (local and

 

remote) to be confusing or annoying, you can use this function

 

to shrink the non-functioning pointer down to a barely

 

noticeable tiny circle, which can be ignored. Since this

 

function is a toggle, use the hotkeys again to bring the mouse

 

display back to its original configuration.

 

Adjust mouse

This utility synchronizes the local and remote mouse

 

movements following a video resolution change. After

 

invoking this utility, simply click the local mouse pointer on top

 

of the remote mouse pointer.

 

Video Auto-sync

This combination performs an auto-sync operation. It is the

 

same as clicking the Auto-sync button in the Video Options

 

dialog box (see Video Settings, page 93).

 

Show/Hide Local

Toggles the display of your local mouse pointer off and on.

Cursor

 

 

Substitute Alt key

Although all other keyboard input is captured and sent to the

 

remote system, [Alt + Tab] and [Ctrl + Alt + Del] work on your

 

local computer. In order to implement their effects on the

 

remote system, another key may be substituted for the Alt key.

 

If you substitute the F12 key, for example, you would use [F12

 

+ Tab] and [Ctrl + F12 + Del].

 

Substitute Ctrl key

If your local computer captures Ctrl key combinations,

 

preventing them from being sent to the remote system, you

 

can implement their effects on the remote system by

 

specifying a function key to substitute for the Ctrl key. If you

 

substitute the F11 key, for example, pressing [F11 + 5] would

 

appear to the remote system as [Ctrl + 5].
